Great post. Aliya has been probably one of my favorite characters on Indian television. Usually tv shows use this formula by making the FL all selfless and crying all the time so we feel sympathy but that isnt real and Aliya really was more close to reality. She stood up for herself and her family against the guy she was gonna marry. She was realistic about being pressured into marrying a guy she didnt like and wasnt a doormat to Zain especially when he hated her and wanted to make her life hell. Even when she realized how her MIL and SIL sabotaged her she dealt with is smartly without disrespecting anyone. Loved her relationship with Usman and at times i've felt they were very similar as well as how similar she and zain were as individuals. Even when she went through all the blame and pain she kept her dignity not begging anyone. I really loved Zains redemption track coz aliya was totally right to make him work for her forgiveness her self respect was very important to protect and cherish. Loved that she was forgiving even when we didnt want her to be, aliya always has put her family above anything else and even if it meant protecting and forgiving even the her loved ones who wronged her coz Usman would have done the same. Aliya was not just the typical good FL who had a strong belief in faith and loved her family unconditionally but she was smart and always went with her gut feeling. Yeah she made mistakes like any human but her faith never wavered. Aliya really represented the now young woman of today and can really be considered a good role model for many.
